Catching wild animals

Pristionchus can be obtained from the wild quite easily...

ask Matthias

or

  • go out "in the wild" and get either beetles- preferably scarab beetles (like dung beetles or cockchafers) or some soil
  • Take the beetles, sacrifice them by cutting in half with scissors
  • put the dead beetles on petri dishes (6cm diameter) with NGMagar (if you don´t like insects you might just put a teaspoon of soil on a plate (10cm diameter))
  • wait some days (sometimes I takes 3 days to one week)


then all of a sudden worms will show up

now you´ll have to identify them ( or ask Matthias to do so)
